Important: You Should Not Be Paying Medical Bills
You should know that you are not responsible for your medical bills. The workers' compensation insurer is responsible -- and for every penny. If you are getting bills after medical treatment, we will aggressively advocate for you to protect your rights in the workers' comp system.
Injured workers are commonly given the run-around, even after filing a valid workers' comp claim, and begin hearing from insurers that they have to pay for their medical bills. It's just not true. Based in Des Moines, we represent clients throughout Iowa, working with each client in an effort to hold insurers responsible for paying your medical bills and lost wages as required by law.

The Run-Around
Medical treatment is expensive and the insurance company is responsible for paying for it in workmans' comp cases. But after you suffer an on-the-job injury, your health insurer may claim that the workers' comp insurer is responsible for medical bills. In turn, the workers' comp insurer may claim that your medical bills did not arise out of a valid on-the-job injury. This is the run-around, and it's important that you find representation from aggressive attorneys who can help you.
Compensation for Bills, Even Gas
In addition to medical bills, you should also receive compensation for gas used for doctors' visits. You should be paid 55 cents per mile for traveling to and from the doctor's office.
